Thomas O'Shaughnessy, Vice President Sales & Marketing stated, "FibreZyme® G5000 is a great addition to our current FibreZyme® series of products and provides further evidence of the value-adding capabilities of Dyadic's C1 platform technology. FibreZyme® G5000 operates under wide pH and temperature ranges allowing for seamless integration into most pulp and paper manufacturing processes."

Specific attributes of FibreZyme® G5000 include the following:

• Reduces fiber raw material costs and petroleum-derived chemical usages
• Reduces pulp refining energy requirements
• Increases paper machine production rates and efficiencies
• Improves softness in tissue production
• Enhances pulp drainage rates and reduces paper drying demand
• Enhances and restores fiber strength and increases inter-fiber bonding through fibrillation

FibreZyme® G5000 is produced using a variant of Dyadic's patented and proprietary C1 platform technology which Dyadic designated as the "white strain" process.  Developed through sustained efforts at Dyadic's research and development facility in the  Netherlands, the white strain produces significantly less background proteins, providing a clean background host for targeted production. These changes allow for more efficient and economical industrial scale production of highly targeted enzymes and proteins at greater purity levels.  For more information about FibreZyme® G5000, please visit Dyadic's pulp and paper website at www.FibreZyme.com.

Tissue World Americas is the only conference and exhibition targeted at North and South American producers, converters, distributors, traders and suppliers of soft hygiene tissue paper. The event will include a technical conference covering new developments in the tissue business and provide a unique opportunity to learn about new techniques and methods to improve operations and profits.
